She made the call on Thursday at Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe during this year’s International Women’s Day Commemoration.

“Let us promote each other; this is no more time for pulling each other down, back biting. Time is now to stop being jealousy or competing with an aim of overcoming or failing fellow women’s success, instead lets pray for one another,” Mutharika said.

She then cautioned parents and guardians not to give girls too much responsibility at home saying that hinders their educational development.

“I am saddened that reports indicate that many girls continue to be sexually abused and exploited this is the time to stop that,” she observed.

She further advised that parents and guardians should be on guard with people who move around cheating women and girls to take them abroad for well paying jobs only to be caught in modern slavery that leaves them stranded to report or come back home.
